"A beautiful modern three bedroom semi detached cottage situated in the heart of this sought after village with GARAGE and delightful South facing garden.


Newman Cottage is one of a pair of semi detached cottages built in 2013 by local reputable Dorset building firm RB Snook, and has attractive stone elevations with brick quoining under a slate roof. The cottage has been a much loved home and is presented in impeccable order throughout having been thoughtfully maintained by the current owners who have owned it since new. The quality of the design and build is immediately apparent, and internally quality fittings include oak doors and flooring as well as a feature multi fuel stove in the sitting room. The property has an abundance of natural light with principle rooms enjoying the South facing orientation and wonderful views over the beautiful landscaped garden. Unlike some new homes, the property combines all the conveniences of a modern home with an older character feel, and currently offers well proportioned living spaces, but also has the potential to extend and could provide a further reception space and ensuite to the master bedroom if so desired, subject to any necessary consents The accommodation on the ground floor is arranged from a bright, welcoming and spacious hallway which has a cloakroom and an under stairs cupboard and leads through to the sitting room and kitchen dining room. The sitting room is a charming dual aspect room which is flooded with natural light and has French doors which lead directly onto the garden terrace. A fireplace is centrally positioned within the room with multi fuel stove inset, providing a cosy focal point and lovely winter addition. The kitchen dining room also has direct access to the garden, and is very well fitted with a range of wall and base cupboards with drawers and has worksurface over equipped with a stainless steel sink and drainer. Appliances are suitably catered for with an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine and a fitted electric hob and double oven with extractor hood over. From the hallway, a spacious staircase rises to the first floor landing and three bedrooms which are all of double proportion and have some views towards local countryside as well as over the delightful rear garden. The bathroom has the convenience of both a bath and a separate shower cubicle, WC, basin and a heated towel rail and there is an airing cupboard within the landing.
The property has the benefit of having one year remaining of a 10 year Zurich insurance warranty as well as double glazed windows and doors and oil fired central heating.

Newman Cottage is conveniently located in the heart of the ever popular village of Leigh, which itself lies in the beautiful Dorset countryside to the South of the historic Abbey town of Sherborne and the local regional centre of Yeovil. The village has a church, a shop and sub post office, garage, and a village hall to its centre, while both Sherborne, Yeovil and Dorchester lie within short motoring distance providing between them an excellent range of cultural, recreational and shopping facilities. Sporting, walking and riding opportunities abound within the area with many walks to be had from the village itself, while the region is well known for both its public and privately funded schooling. Communication links are good with a halt at nearby Chetnole on the Weymouth to Bath and Bristol line. A main line station at Sherborne links directly with London Waterloo while road links are along the A303 joined at Wincanton giving swift access to London and the Home Counties along the M3, M25 route.

To the front of the property a paved pedestrian pathway leads to the front gardens which are laid to stone chippings and have a beautifully planted border to one corner and a gate to the side of the property which provides a useful bin storage area and houses the external oil fired boiler and oil tank. The much loved rear gardens are an absolute delight and have a South facing aspect. An impressive shaped lawn extends the length of the garden and has wonderful planted borders bursting with colour which add depth to the garden through the seasons. Trees include a flowering plum and cherry. To one side of the garden, a pathway leads to the rear of the garden where there is an 8x6 timber shed and a pedestrian door to the garage, which is equipped with an up and over door, power and light. A gate leads out to the front of the garage and a hardstanding allocated parking space."
